I don't have an answer to that question, but I did come up with a name for the new business venture Sandy is getting into (Sandy owns the Goat Roper).

"Hope Springs Internal"

I will just say, next year's dinner will include an expanded "shootout."

Huh? I saw you in there talking to Sandy at the end of the night. Wuz up?

In the mid '70s, one of the Klipsch reps drove a VW van with a pair of La Scalas in the rear facing forward!

Stereo separation wasn't much but they would sure part your hair.

For those attending the Hollis' Goat Roper "shootout", does anyone remember bringing a CD (on the Columbia label) that had a really strong opening bass line? The artist was perhaps Indian and the cover art was an abstract form. The music was New Age/Alternative ?

Lee, that was A.R. Rahman: Vande Mataram

1997, Columbia (Sony Music)

Oh god fini thats just not right. Reminds me of that SNL episode with Phil Hartman doing the Colon Blow Cereal commercial.

Was she serious about that...I mean really..... As Jethro would say, "I'm afeared pa".

YIKES

Dee, how's the weather been there over the past two days? TV reports were saying 35-50 mph winds and 5"-10" of rain from Rita -- it looks like last weekend was the right one for the Hope pilgrimage, 'cause nothing would have flown in or out anywhere near Hope during this one.

Larry,

Thanks for asking. Central Arkansas hasn't had it too badly. On balance

we needed rain, though lots of farmers are taking a hit in the middle

of harvest. We mostly had rain, plenty of it and some wind. Not really

bad damage. Every motel room in Arkansas has been booked with folks up

here from Texas.

Yeh, I was thinking the same thing on the right weekend to be in Hope.

Haven't heard anything on Hope weather the last few days, but was

looking at the radar and they were getting more tropical storm than

central Arkansas. We were definitely there at the right time.

Dee,

Woodog brought over his Scott pre today for use with the Dynaco. It certainly cut the edge on that CD direct deal, softened things up a bit and it had a loudness button! Sounded wonderful!

BS

The preamp did sound nice, but to be honest I was wondering what was it about the sound of the CD player --> ST70 sound he didn't like. It was full, rich, ballsy, and, well, just fine overall. The ST70 gave rock solid imaging and a much needed crystal shine vs. the solid state I had heard previously. My preamp helped a little, but certainly not $500.00 worth of 'little'.

my $.02,

Woo
